Trusted non-slip bath coating in Woodland

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Woodland

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Woodland

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodland

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Woodland. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Woodland, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Common questions in Woodland

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Woodland.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
