Non-slip bath coating in Ratcliffe on Soar, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

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.
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.
Ratcliffe on Soar: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ratcliffe on Soar.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
