Non-slip bath coating in Ridge

About our non-slip bath coating in Ridge

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Ridge

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Ridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Ridge?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ridge

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Ridge

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Ridge

  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
