Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ruthven

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ruthven

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

  • 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 to compare quotes

What affects the price in Ruthven

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ruthven. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Ruthven and want a price, pictures 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.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Ruthven: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ruthven included. Travel is included in the price.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
