Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ecclefechan
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Ecclefechan: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ecclefechan?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
