Non-slip bath coating across Kelvinbridge and nearby, usually in one visit.

Non-slip bath coating in Kelvinbridge, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Kelvinbridge

Common problems we fix in Kelvinbridge
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include

Common questions in Kelvinbridge
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
Everywhere in the UK, Kelvinbridge included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kelvinbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
