Trusted non-slip bath coating in Woodstone Village

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Woodstone Village

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Woodstone Village

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Woodstone Village: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Woodstone Village?

We do. We send a technician to Woodstone Village for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Woodstone Village

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Woodstone Village

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
