Non-slip bath coating in Wookey Hole without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Wookey Hole
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Wookey Hole.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What else we do in Wookey Hole
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wookey Hole?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
What we can’t put right
In fairness, 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Wookey Hole, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wookey Hole, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
