Non-slip bath coating at your home in Alloa
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Alloa questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Alloa?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alloa from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Other services in Alloa
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- Worn-out textured areas

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
