Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ryall

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll 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.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Ryall

Instead, you could go for 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Ryall: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Ryall?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ryall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ryall

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Ryall

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
