Non-Slip Bath Coating for Nova Scotia homes
We travel to Nova Scotia for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Nova Scotia, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Nova Scotia: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover Nova Scotia?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nova Scotia. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Nova Scotia included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Common problems we fix in Nova Scotia
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Nova Scotia contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Nova Scotia
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
