- 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.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ribchester
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Ribchester?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ribchester. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Ribchester
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ribchester included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ribchester

The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for 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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
