Non-slip bath coating at your home in St Boswells
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in St Boswells
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in St Boswells
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in St Boswells
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in St Boswells?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD6 postcode.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Across the UK, and that includes St Boswells. Prices don’t change with location.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
