About our non-slip bath coating in Ardrossan
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Ardrossan get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Ardrossan
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Ardrossan?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Ardrossan?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, 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, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
