Non-slip bath coating near Thrupe

Non-slip bath coating in Thrupe without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Thrupe?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Thrupe

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I clean it?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Thrupe?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BA5 postcode.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
