Non-slip bath coating in Low Westwood, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Low Westwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Low Westwood questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Low Westwood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Low Westwood. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Low Westwood?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
