How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gartloch
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Repair or replace in Gartloch?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Gartloch
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
