Non-slip bath & shower coating in Patna, South Ayrshire
We travel to Patna for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
About our non-slip bath coating in Patna
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Patna
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Patna?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Patna. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What else we do in Patna
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
