About our non-slip bath coating in Marybank
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marybank use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Marybank, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Marybank
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repair or replace in Marybank?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
