Non-slip bath & shower coating in Oakbank, West Lothian

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Oakbank
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakbank as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Oakbank
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Oakbank. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
