Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sighthill
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
What affects the price in Sighthill
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Sighthill?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Sighthill clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sighthill
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
