Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Duddingston as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Duddingston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Duddingston

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Duddingston
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
