How we handle non-slip bath coating in Carnkie
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Carnkie
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Carnkie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are

Carnkie questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
