Non-slip bath coating for Thorpe Malsor homes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thorpe Malsor

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorpe Malsor and across Northamptonshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How it works

You do not 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. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Thorpe Malsor: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Thorpe Malsor

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

Repair or replace in Thorpe Malsor?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Thorpe Malsor

We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe Malsor. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
