About our non-slip bath coating in Whitnage
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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whitnage
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Most customers in Whitnage get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Whitnage questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Whitnage included. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
For a price in Whitnage, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whitnage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
