DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Markethill, done in place
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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Markethill
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Perth and Kinross.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace in Markethill?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: 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 we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
