Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Non-slip bath coating in Thorney, done in place
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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Thorney
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
