Non-slip bath coating in Upper Wellingham, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wellingham, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Non-slip bath coating in place avoids all of that.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Wellingham
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Wellingham
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Older homes around Upper Wellingham may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Upper Wellingham
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Landlords with property near Cooksbridge station (about 2.1 miles west) use us between tenancies, so baths and shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Wellingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like Upper Wellingham, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
