Non-slip bath coating at your home in Rufford
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Rufford?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Rufford: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
