About our non-slip bath coating in Smith's Wood
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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Smith's Wood
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Smith's Wood
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
