Non-slip bath & shower coating in Woodbury, Central Bedfordshire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Woodbury, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Woodbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Non-slip bath coating in Woodbury, done in place
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’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Woodbury
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Woodbury questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What else we do in Woodbury
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
