DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cawdor
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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Cawdor
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Cawdor. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Cawdor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
