- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Non-slip bath coating in Ravenstonedale, 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 it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Ravenstonedale
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ravenstonedale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 usually cheaper.

What else we do in Ravenstonedale
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
