Non-slip bath coating at your home in Auldcathie
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Common problems we fix in Auldcathie
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Auldcathie: your questions answered
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
