How we handle non-slip bath coating in Elrick
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Elrick questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Elrick?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Elrick
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairing versus replacing in Elrick
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not 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.

Work for landlords and builders
