Non-slip bath coating at your home in Roxburgh
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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Roxburgh
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Roxburgh get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Roxburgh
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

What a repair can’t fix

- Outdoor surfaces

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Roxburgh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Roxburgh: your questions answered
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Roxburgh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Roxburgh and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What else we do in Roxburgh
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Roxburgh, and we will reply with a fixed price.
