Non-slip bath coating in Polmadie, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, 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 work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Polmadie
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
