Non-slip bath coating in Howgate, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Howgate
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Howgate
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Howgate
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlord and trade work in Howgate
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Howgate?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
