Non-slip bath coating in Thorncote Green

About our non-slip bath coating in Thorncote Green

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. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Thorncote Green

  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Thorncote Green. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Thorncote Green, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Thorncote Green

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Thorncote Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Thorncote Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Repair or replace in Thorncote Green?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thorncote Green

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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
