About our non-slip bath coating in Woll
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Woll
The alternatives are 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no area surcharge for Woll. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Most clients in Woll get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Questions from Woll
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, 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 information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Woll?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
