Non-slip bath & shower coating in Thistleton, Rutland
We travel to Thistleton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

About our non-slip bath coating in Thistleton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thistleton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Thistleton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What affects the price in Thistleton
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Thistleton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What else we do in Thistleton
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
