Non-slip bath coating in Braeside, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Braeside. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braeside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Braeside
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Braeside?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Braeside?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Braeside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
