All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

East Craigs: your questions answered

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in East Craigs?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes East Craigs. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
