How we handle non-slip bath coating in Whitecross
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whitecross?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Whitecross: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Whitecross?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whitecross and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitecross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
