For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Non-slip bath coating in Whitley, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Whitley
Common questions in Whitley
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Whitley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What affects the price in Whitley
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Whitley
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
What happens on the day
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’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
