Non-slip bath & shower coating in Gelston, Dumfries and Galloway
Our repair technicians come to Gelston for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our non-slip bath coating in Gelston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Gelston?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gelston?

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

FAQs for Gelston
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Everywhere in the UK, Gelston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
