About our non-slip bath coating in Holywood
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holywood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Holywood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
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 to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Holywood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Holywood
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
