About our non-slip bath coating in Ford
It suits 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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
For a price in Ford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ford?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Ford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Are there extra charges for Ford?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Repairing versus replacing in Ford
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
