Non-slip bath coating for Ringstead homes

Non-slip bath coating in Ringstead, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Ringstead

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ringstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Take a look at our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Ringstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
