How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thetford
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common questions in Thetford
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Thetford?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
