Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
About our non-slip bath coating in West Clifton
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in West Clifton?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in West Clifton
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair is not 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
