Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cardrona Village
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cardrona Village and across the Scottish Borders. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Cardrona Village
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cardrona Village
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cardrona Village, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
