Non-slip bath coating in Whitburn without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
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.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Whitburn. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whitburn questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SR6 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Whitburn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Whitburn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whitburn?

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Whitburn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
