Non-slip bath coating at your home in Balgay
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Balgay
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Balgay?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Most clients in Balgay get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
