Non-Slip Bath Coating for Inverinan homes
Non-slip bath coating for Inverinan, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Non-slip bath coating in Inverinan without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Inverinan
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA35 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverinan
If you manage property in Inverinan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Inverinan
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
