Non-slip bath coating at your home in Whittington
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whittington and across Norfolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Whittington. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whittington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Whittington
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Whittington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whittington and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Whittington

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
