Non-slip bath coating near Ashton-on-Ribble

Non-slip bath coating in Ashton-on-Ribble, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  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
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Ashton-on-Ribble?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Take a look at our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashton-on-Ribble. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ashton-on-Ribble

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ashton-on-Ribble?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before booking

Ashton-on-Ribble: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

Are there extra charges for Ashton-on-Ribble?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ashton-on-Ribble?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
