Non-slip bath coating in Gilmerton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gilmerton and across Perth and Kinross. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Gilmerton

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Perth and Kinross?

Across the UK, so Gilmerton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilmerton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Gilmerton

  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
