Non-slip bath coating in Thorney Holme, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Thorney Holme
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
