Non-slip bath coating in Welham without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welham

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Welham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Welham questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Common problems we fix in Welham

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Welham

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Welham

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
