Landlord and trade work in Wood End
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Non-slip bath coating in Wood End without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not 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 frequently lifts.

Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Wood End and the rest of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

When to call us in Wood End
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.
Why Wood End clients choose us
