Non-slip bath coating in Riber

When to call us in Riber

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Riber contact us are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

About our non-slip bath coating in Riber

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Riber

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riber as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Riber

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Riber?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Riber. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Riber

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
