About our non-slip bath coating in Swanston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Swanston. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Swanston: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace in Swanston?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swanston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we are called out for in Swanston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
