Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sciennes
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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sciennes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Sciennes
There is no area surcharge for Sciennes. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sciennes
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Sciennes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sciennes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What else we do in Sciennes
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
