Non-slip bath coating in Thornhaugh without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thornhaugh and across Northamptonshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Thornhaugh

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.

Common reasons people in Thornhaugh contact us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Thornhaugh questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Thornhaugh?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thornhaugh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Thornhaugh. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
