Non-slip bath coating for Ridgeway homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Ridgeway questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Ridgeway. Prices don’t change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Ridgeway

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Ridgeway get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through 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 without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway

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