How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tarbolton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tarbolton and across East Ayrshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Tarbolton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Tarbolton?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Tarbolton?
We do. We send a technician to Tarbolton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: 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 photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tarbolton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
