Non-Slip Bath Coating for Ratho homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Ratho and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ratho
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ratho
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Ratho?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Ratho
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page.
Landlord and trade work in Ratho
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Ratho
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
