Non-slip bath coating in Westruther, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Westruther
There is no charge for travel to Westruther. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
