- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

Non-slip bath coating in Gatehead, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatehead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Gatehead
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Gatehead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gatehead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Ayrshire.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gatehead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
