Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Non-slip bath coating in Ratcliffe on the Wreake, 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 older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

Rural addresses like Ratcliffe on the Wreake just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will do the rest.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Ratcliffe on the Wreake. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

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 we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere as small as Ratcliffe on the Wreake, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For a rural home like those around Ratcliffe on the Wreake, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
