Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Gifford
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Gifford: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gifford.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures 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.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gifford
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Landlord and trade work in Gifford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
