Non-slip bath & shower coating in Drumchapel, Glasgow

Non-slip bath coating in Drumchapel, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Drumchapel

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Drumchapel questions
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?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Drumchapel and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
