What affects the price in Edinburgh Waterfront
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Edinburgh Waterfront
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
