Non-slip bath coating near Thornliebank

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thornliebank

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. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Thornliebank

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thornliebank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Thornliebank

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Thornliebank questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for Thornliebank?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
