Non-slip bath coating in Ridlington, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Ridlington
Do you cover Ridlington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ridlington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridlington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ridlington?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
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 quote, not a guess.
