Non-slip bath coating for Thornton-le-Moors homes

Non-slip bath coating in Thornton-le-Moors, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Thornton-le-Moors

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Thornton-le-Moors

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • 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 to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Thornton-le-Moors. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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