Non-Slip Bath Coating in Tranent
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Tranent, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tranent
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Tranent
Will the price change on the day?
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 Tranent?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we are called out for in Tranent
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
What affects the price in Tranent
There is no charge for travel to Tranent. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Tranent
If you manage property in Tranent, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
