Non-Slip Bath Coating for Kilmun homes

- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in Kilmun without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Kilmun
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 often lifts.
Kilmun: your questions answered
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kilmun?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work in Kilmun?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kilmun. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilmun
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Kilmun
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
