Trusted non-slip bath coating in Thurmaston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our non-slip bath coating in Thurmaston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Thurmaston

We charge the same across the UK, including Thurmaston. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Thurmaston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Thurmaston

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Thurmaston

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Thurmaston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Thurmaston?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Thurmaston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
