About our non-slip bath coating in Burgh Muir
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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Burgh Muir and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Burgh Muir
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Burgh Muir. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Burgh Muir?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Burgh Muir
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Burgh Muir, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
