Non-slip bath coating for Whitwell homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Whitwell

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Whitwell

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Whitwell

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Whitwell contact us include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

FAQs for Whitwell

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Whitwell?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Whitwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Whitwell

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitwell

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
