Non-slip bath coating in Well Head without replacing anything
It’s popular with 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. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Well Head questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What a repair can’t fix

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Well Head
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
