Non-slip bath coating in North Leith without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Leith as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Leith
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in North Leith
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

North Leith: your questions answered
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
