Non-slip bath coating in Ferring, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Ferring

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Ferring questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ferring

For anyone letting property in or around Ferring, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ferring as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ferring

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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