Non-slip bath coating near Thorpe Willoughby

About our non-slip bath coating in Thorpe Willoughby

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Willoughby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Willoughby

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.
