Non-slip bath coating in Ratby without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. 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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Ratby customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ratby

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ratby?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ratby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ratby?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Ratby. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ratby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
