Non-Slip Bath Coating in Shawfair
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays for homes and businesses in Shawfair and across Midlothian. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shawfair
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Shawfair: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?
Everywhere in the UK, Shawfair included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shawfair, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shawfair?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
