About our non-slip bath coating in Torphin
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Torphin
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Torphin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Torphin
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Torphin?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover Torphin?
We do. We send a technician to Torphin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Torphin
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Common problems we fix in Torphin
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
