Non-slip bath coating in Stockbridge, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stockbridge and across Edinburgh. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
