Non-slip bath coating in Ripon

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ripon

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Ripon?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ripon

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Landlord and trade work in Ripon

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Ripon

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price
