Non-Slip Bath Coating for New Deer homes
Non-slip bath coating across New Deer and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our non-slip bath coating in New Deer
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in New Deer
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Repairing versus replacing in New Deer
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
