Non-slip bath & shower coating in Humbie, East Lothian
Our technicians come to Humbie for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Landlords, agents and businesses in Humbie
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Humbie as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
About our non-slip bath coating in Humbie
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.

What we are called out for in Humbie
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Humbie
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Other services in Humbie
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
