Non-slip bath coating in Whittlebury without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Whittlebury

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Whittlebury and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
