Non-slip bath coating at your home in Whippendell Bottom
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Whippendell Bottom
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
