Non-Slip Bath Coating for Thurso homes
Local non-slip bath coating for Thurso: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thurso
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
When to call us in Thurso
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

FAQs for Thurso
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Thurso
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
