About our non-slip bath coating in Whitstone

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Whitstone

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Whitstone?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Whitstone?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitstone

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitstone as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Whitstone. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: 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

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
