Non-slip bath coating in Ford without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with 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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ford and across Herefordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Materials we work on in Ford
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Ford
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ford. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ford?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Landlord and trade work in Ford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Ford. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
If you’re in Ford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
