Book non-slip bath coating in Thorpe by Water

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thorpe by Water

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Thorpe by Water. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Thorpe by Water and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe by Water

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe by Water

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Thorpe by Water?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Thorpe by Water contact us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Thorpe by Water questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
