Non-slip bath coating in Park Wood, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Park Wood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Park Wood. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Park Wood, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Park Wood
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
