Need non-slip bath coating in Thurston?

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

About our non-slip bath coating in Thurston

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Thurston

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Common questions in Thurston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP31 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Thurston

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

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.
