How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Muchalls
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Muchalls
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Muchalls?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Muchalls and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What affects the price in Muchalls
We charge the same across the UK, including Muchalls. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Muchalls get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
