It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Whitwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Whitwell
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How soon can you come?

Can pets and children be at home?

How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitwell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
