Trusted non-slip bath coating in Woodlands

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Woodlands

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Woodlands

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Woodlands?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you cover Woodlands?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woodlands and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Woodlands. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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