Non-slip bath coating in Gateside without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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

What affects the price in Gateside
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gateside?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Gateside
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
