Non-slip bath coating in Arden, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Arden
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Arden. Prices do not change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What we’re called out for in Arden
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For a price in Arden, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
