About our non-slip bath coating in Carloway
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carloway and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Carloway
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Carloway?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
