Non-slip bath coating in Slateford without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Slateford. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Other services in Slateford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Slateford
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Slateford.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
