Non-slip bath coating at your home in East Mains
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in East Mains
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Questions from East Mains
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover East Mains?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Mains and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in East Mains
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in East Mains
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
