Non-slip bath coating in Thurgarton 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. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
