Non-slip bath coating in Wood End

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Wood End. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • 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. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Wood End without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Wood End

  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Wood End

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions from Wood End

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
