How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ratling
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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Ratling questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratling
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratling as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Ratling
