About our non-slip bath coating in Rathven

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Rathven

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Rathven

Do you come to Rathven?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rathven and the rest of Moray. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Rathven is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Rathven. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Rathven get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

When to call us in Rathven

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

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
