Non-slip bath coating near Whitfield

About our non-slip bath coating in Whitfield

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitfield

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Whitfield

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
