DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Non-slip bath coating in Winterborne Whitechurch, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Winterborne Whitechurch
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Winterborne Whitechurch. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Winterborne Whitechurch
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
