We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Non-slip bath coating in Darnick without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Darnick
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Darnick
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
