About our non-slip bath coating in Tong Norton

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Tong Norton

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

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Tong Norton. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Tong Norton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Tong Norton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
