About our non-slip bath coating in Whipsiderry

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Whipsiderry: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Whipsiderry?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whipsiderry. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whipsiderry?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Repairing versus replacing in Whipsiderry

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
