What we’re called out for in Southhouse

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

Non-slip bath coating in Southhouse without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Southhouse
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before booking
Take a look at our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Southhouse
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Across the UK, and that includes Southhouse. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Southhouse and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
