About our non-slip bath coating in Kirkliston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kirkliston
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kirkliston?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH29 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkliston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kirkliston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
