Non-slip bath coating in Kirk Yetholm, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirk Yetholm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Kirk Yetholm
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Kirk Yetholm. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Kirk Yetholm?

Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
