Common questions in Ringley
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you accredited?

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ringley
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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

What happens on the day

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ringley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Ringley
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
