Landlord and trade work in Thurgarton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurgarton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thurgarton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Thurgarton
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
