Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in West Craigs
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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in West Craigs
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in West Craigs
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Craigs and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath 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, so there’s no premium for West Craigs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in West Craigs
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in West Craigs, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
