About our non-slip bath coating in Prestonfield
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Prestonfield as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Prestonfield questions

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Prestonfield?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Prestonfield
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
