Non-slip bath coating in Ryton

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Ryton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ryton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Ryton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Ryton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
