About our non-slip bath coating in Whorlton
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 are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Whorlton
Can I add another job to the visit?

Are there extra charges for Whorlton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- Where you are, by postcode
