Non-Slip Bath Coating for Tomatin homes
Our repair technicians come to Tomatin for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating in Tomatin without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tomatin and across Highland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Tomatin?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Tomatin: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?

How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
We cover the entire UK, including Tomatin and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. 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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Tomatin
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
