About our non-slip bath coating in Lumsden
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Lumsden
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Repair or replace in Lumsden?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lumsden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
