Non-Slip Bath Coating for Firrhill homes
We travel to Firrhill for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Firrhill without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Firrhill questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Firrhill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Firrhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Firrhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
When to call us in Firrhill
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
