Non-slip bath & shower coating in South Portobello, Edinburgh
Local non-slip bath coating for South Portobello: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

About our non-slip bath coating in South Portobello
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in South Portobello

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
