Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thrumster
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Thrumster: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Thrumster?
We do. We send a technician to Thrumster for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Thrumster, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thrumster, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
