Non-Slip Bath Coating for Gallowgate homes
Non-slip bath coating across Gallowgate and nearby, normally in one visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Non-slip bath coating in Gallowgate without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When to call us in Gallowgate
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Gallowgate questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Across the UK, and that includes Gallowgate. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Glasgow.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send pictures?

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Gallowgate. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
