About our non-slip bath coating in Saxlingham Thorpe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Saxlingham Thorpe
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Do you cover Saxlingham Thorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Saxlingham Thorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Saxlingham Thorpe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
