Non-slip bath coating across the Scottish Borders: what to expect

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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
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.

Pricing in the Scottish Borders

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Local landmarks in Galashiels

In Galashiels, that means homes near Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy. Galashiels has its own railway station: Galashiels station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Eildon Mid Hill.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

The colour and finish to match
What the surface is made of
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Where you are, by postcode
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around the Scottish Borders, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have.

Common problems we fix in the Scottish Borders

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Safety for older or less mobile people
Worn-out textured areas
