DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating in Raploch, 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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Raploch
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairing versus replacing in Raploch
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Raploch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
