Non-slip bath coating in Heiton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Heiton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Heiton
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Heiton?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Scottish Borders.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
What we are called out for in Heiton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Heiton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional 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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Heiton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
