If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Non-slip bath coating in Great Whittington without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Great Whittington
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Whittington and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, 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. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.
What affects the price in Great Whittington
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Whittington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
