  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

About our non-slip bath coating in Rishangles

It suits 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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rishangles as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Rishangles

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Rishangles, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rishangles. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Rishangles

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
