About our non-slip bath coating in Whitewell
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. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
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.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Whitewell: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY13 postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Whitewell. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Whitewell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Whitewell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in Whitewell
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
