Non-slip bath coating at your home in Whitehaven

It suits 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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Whitehaven

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Whitehaven?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I clean it?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
