Non-slip bath coating in Whitehill, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, 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 usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Whitehill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whitehill
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Whitehill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitehill
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
