Non-slip bath coating for Thorncross homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thorncross

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorncross and across Isle of Wight. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Thorncross

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Isle of Wight.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorncross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Thorncross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Thorncross?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorncross

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
