Non-slip bath coating in Fountainhall without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll 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?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
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 typically the cheaper route.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Fountainhall questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fountainhall.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fountainhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Fountainhall
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
