Non-slip bath coating in Whitwick without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Whitwick
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE67 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Whitwick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Most clients in Whitwick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whitwick?

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include

- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
