Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are 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. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Coatbridge
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Other services in Coatbridge
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Coatbridge
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone

- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coatbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Coatbridge
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Coatbridge included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
