How we handle non-slip bath coating in Whitehawk
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Whitehawk?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitehawk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
