Trusted non-slip bath coating in Rainow

About our non-slip bath coating in Rainow

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Rainow

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you come to Rainow?

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Rainow

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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