Non-slip bath coating near Thorndon Cross

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Thorndon Cross, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Thorndon Cross

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Questions from Thorndon Cross

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Thorndon Cross?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorndon Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

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

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thorndon Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
