Trusted non-slip bath coating in Thorne Coffin

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Thorne Coffin

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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorne Coffin as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Thorne Coffin, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we are called out for in Thorne Coffin

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
