Non-slip bath coating near Woodside

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Woodside

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Woodside: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Woodside is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Woodside

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before you book anyone

Choosing a repair company

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DY5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
