Non-slip bath coating in Westwood without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westwood as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Westwood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Westwood
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

There is no area surcharge for Westwood. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Westwood
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Westwood?
We do. We send a technician to Westwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
