Non-slip bath & shower coating in South Gyle, Edinburgh

How we handle non-slip bath coating in South Gyle
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in South Gyle
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in South Gyle
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for South Gyle
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in South Gyle?
We do. Technicians travel to South Gyle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Gyle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
