Non-Slip Bath Coating in Stranraer
Non-slip bath coating in and around Stranraer: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stranraer
Are there extra charges for Stranraer?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Stranraer?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stranraer and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Stranraer
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stranraer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
