How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shewalton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
