Non-slip bath & shower coating in Newmill, Scottish Borders

Non-slip bath coating in Newmill without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Newmill
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Landlord and trade work in Newmill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
More services for Newmill
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

Newmill questions
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Newmill?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Newmill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What affects the price in Newmill
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
