Non-Slip Bath Coating in Lochend
Non-slip bath coating across Lochend and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lochend
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Lochend
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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 adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Lochend
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
