How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dovecote
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’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Dovecote
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Dovecote questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Dovecote?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dovecote and the rest of East Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Dovecote?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
