Non-slip bath coating in Thruscross without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Thruscross. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Thruscross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Thruscross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs 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.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
