About our non-slip bath coating in Whitwell
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Whitwell
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Whitwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Whitwell

- Worn-out textured areas

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
