Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Lochs
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Also in North Lochs
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Lochs use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in North Lochs?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in North Lochs?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

North Lochs questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot 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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
