Non-slip bath coating in Gattonside without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gattonside and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Gattonside
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Gattonside?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gattonside and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gattonside
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Gattonside?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
