About our non-slip bath coating in Longstone
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Longstone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Longstone
For anyone letting property in or around Longstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Longstone?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Longstone
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Longstone
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Longstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
