Advice
Non-slip bath coating in Giffnock without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Giffnock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Giffnock

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
