Non-slip bath & shower coating in Innermessan, Dumfries and Galloway
Our technicians come to Innermessan for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Non-slip bath coating in Innermessan, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Innermessan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Innermessan
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Common questions in Innermessan
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
