Non-slip bath coating for Thorley homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thorley

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorley

Instead, you could go for 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

Thorley: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Thorley. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common problems we fix in Thorley

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Thorley contact us are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
