Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thankerton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. 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 Thankerton
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ML12 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in Thankerton
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thankerton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Thankerton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
