Questions from Woodlinkin
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Non-slip bath coating in Woodlinkin 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 regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woodlinkin as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Woodlinkin
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
