Non-slip bath & shower coating in Symington, East Ayrshire
Our repair technicians come to Symington for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Symington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What affects the price in Symington
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Symington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Symington: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Symington?
We do. We send a technician to Symington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
