- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Non-slip bath coating in Whitleigh, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Other services in Whitleigh
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Whitleigh?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Whitleigh
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Whitleigh?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Whitleigh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What affects the price in Whitleigh
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

When to call us in Whitleigh
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
