Non-slip bath coating in Thorney without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Thorney?

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thorney

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Thorney: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Thorney?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thorney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Thorney get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
