Need non-slip bath coating in Thistle Hill?

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Non-slip bath coating in Thistle Hill without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Thistle Hill

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Thistle Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Thistle Hill questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Thistle Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thistle Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Thistle Hill?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
