Common questions in Garioch
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to Garioch?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Garioch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
About our non-slip bath coating in Garioch
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Garioch
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Garioch and nearby
Garioch is about 13 miles north-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Wherever you are in the AB51 postcode area, we come to you. Garioch is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire where we work.
Every address in AB51 is covered. We regularly work on streets such as Rose Lane, Port Road and Davah Road. Garioch sits on or near the A96, so getting to you is simple. We also travel to Inverurie (1 mile north-west), Port Elphinstone (1 mile south), Kinmuck (3 miles east), Cottown (4 miles south) and Kintore (4 miles south). Larger places within reach include Westhill (9 miles south), Ellon (13 miles north-east), Kemnay (4 miles south-west), Oldmeldrum (4 miles north-east), Alford (13 miles west) and Insch (10 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Local landmarks in Garioch
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to West Parish Church, The Gordon Highlander pub and Inverurie Academy, among other places. Garioch has its own railway station: Inverurie station. Well-known places in the area include Carnegie Museum (less than half a mile east) and Inverurie Hospital (0.5 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Scroggie Hill.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garioch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Garioch
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
Should you replace it?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
