About our non-slip bath coating in St Thomas
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. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Thomas
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around St Thomas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in St Thomas
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in St Thomas?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for St Thomas?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in St Thomas get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
