What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ripple. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Non-slip bath coating in Ripple without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Ripple
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ripple. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ripple
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Ripple: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
