Non-slip bath coating in Dechmont, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dechmont and across West Lothian. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Dechmont
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dechmont
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
