Need non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway?

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have 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. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ridgeway and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Ridgeway

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN25 postcode.

Do you cover Ridgeway?

We do. We send a technician to Ridgeway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ridgeway

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridgeway

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridgeway as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Ridgeway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Ridgeway

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
