Non-slip bath coating at your home in Canongate
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Canongate

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common questions in Canongate
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Canongate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote

- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Repair or replace in Canongate?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
