Non-slip bath coating in Cargenbridge, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cargenbridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
