About our non-slip bath coating in Gavinton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Gavinton
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
