About our non-slip bath coating in Thulston
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thulston and across Derbyshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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

What else we do in Thulston
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Thulston?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?

What we’re called out for in Thulston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
