Non-slip bath coating in Fettercairn without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fettercairn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fettercairn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Fettercairn questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Fettercairn. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Fettercairn, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Fettercairn
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fettercairn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
