Non-slip bath coating in Thornhill, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Thornhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Thornhill
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thornhill. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are there extra charges for Thornhill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Thornhill
There’s no charge for travel to Thornhill. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Thornhill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Thornhill
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thornhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
