Non-slip bath coating in Ashreigney without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

What we’re called out for in Ashreigney

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What happens next?

Are there extra charges for Ashreigney?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Ashreigney?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashreigney and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently 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?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Ashreigney

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
