Non-Slip Bath Coating for Kilchoan homes
Non-slip bath coating in and around Kilchoan: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Non-slip bath coating in Kilchoan without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Kilchoan
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Kilchoan?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kilchoan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kilchoan included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
Repair or replace in Kilchoan?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What else we do in Kilchoan
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
