Non-Slip Bath Coating for Rickinghall homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Rickinghall, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rickinghall
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rickinghall and across Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Rickinghall: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Rickinghall
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
