Non-slip bath & shower coating in Ridgeway, Stoke-on-Trent
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ridgeway
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ridgeway and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Ridgeway
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover Ridgeway?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ridgeway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When to call us in Ridgeway
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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 any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ridgeway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Ridgeway
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
