Non-slip bath & shower coating in Kirkton, West Lothian
Our repair technicians come to Kirkton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kirkton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Kirkton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Kirkton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What a repair cannot fix
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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kirkton
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
