If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Non-slip bath coating in High Ruchill without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in High Ruchill
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in High Ruchill

Questions from High Ruchill
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in High Ruchill?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Ruchill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What else we do in High Ruchill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for High Ruchill. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
