About our non-slip bath coating in Cardenden
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Cardenden
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 repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Cardenden?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Cardenden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cardenden and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Cardenden?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cardenden?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
