Non-slip bath coating in East Calder, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

East Calder questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to East Calder?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Calder from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Calder. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Do you need non-slip bath coating in East Calder?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
