How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lauder
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Lauder?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Lauder
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Lauder?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Other services in Lauder
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lauder use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Lauder, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
