About our non-slip bath coating in Birkenside
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Birkenside
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Birkenside?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover Birkenside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birkenside and the rest of Midlothian. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
