How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thorpe Cross
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Thorpe Cross get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Thorpe Cross
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

Thorpe Cross: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe Cross included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
