- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tradeston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tradeston as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlord and trade work in Tradeston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Tradeston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
