- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 normally cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating in Boghead, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Boghead
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Boghead, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no area surcharge for Boghead. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Most customers in Boghead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Boghead?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
