How we handle non-slip bath coating in Motherby

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Motherby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Motherby

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

Questions from Motherby

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Motherby?

We do. Technicians travel to Motherby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Motherby?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
