Non-slip bath coating in Markinch, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Markinch
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Markinch. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Markinch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Markinch
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Markinch
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
