About our non-slip bath coating in Whale Hill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Whale Hill
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Whale Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whale Hill?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage

FAQs for Whale Hill
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Middlesbrough.
Are there extra charges for Whale Hill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
