Non-slip bath coating in Whelley without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Whelley

We charge the same across the UK, including Whelley. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Whelley?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whelley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair
