About our non-slip bath coating in Westwood
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

Westwood questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Westwood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
