Non-slip bath & shower coating in Haddington, East Lothian

Non-slip bath coating in Haddington without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Haddington
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no charge for travel to Haddington. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH41 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
