- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Port Ellen
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
