How we handle non-slip bath coating in Drumsturdy
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drumsturdy and across Dundee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Drumsturdy
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Drumsturdy?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DD5 postcode.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Drumsturdy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
