Book non-slip bath coating in Thurstonland

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thurstonland

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Questions from Thurstonland

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Thurstonland and the rest of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What affects the price in Thurstonland

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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 price.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurstonland as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thurstonland

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
