What we’re called out for in Wetherden

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

About our non-slip bath coating in Wetherden

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wetherden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Wetherden. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
