Non-slip bath coating near Thorpe Acre

About our non-slip bath coating in Thorpe Acre

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Thorpe Acre

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 work on in Thorpe Acre

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Acre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
