Non-slip bath coating in Whiddon, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Whiddon: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

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

Do you come to Whiddon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whiddon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whiddon

Smooth surfaces are 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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Whiddon clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Whiddon

For anyone letting property in or around Whiddon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Whiddon

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
