- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Woodmancote
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Woodmancote
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Woodmancote questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What affects the price in Woodmancote
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Woodmancote?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, 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. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodmancote
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
