Whitley questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Whitley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Whitley?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Whitley
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Whitley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Whitley
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
