FAQs for Woodston
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Woodston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodston and the rest of Peterborough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
About our non-slip bath coating in Woodston
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Woodston. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Woodston, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Woodston?
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
