About our non-slip bath coating in Douglas
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Douglas
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Douglas
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Douglas?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?
Across the UK, so Douglas is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Douglas as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
