About our non-slip bath coating in Rickerby

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Rickerby

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rickerby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Rickerby: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Rickerby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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