Non-Slip Bath Coating across Gloucestershire

Our non-slip bath coating service in Gloucestershire

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

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. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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.

Cost

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

In Cheltenham, that means homes near Dean Close School, Christ Church CofE Primary School and Christ Church. Also close by are The Park (0.6 miles south), Cheltenham Bournside School and Sixth Form Centre (1 mile south-west) and Queens Hotel (within half a mile east).

The countryside around Cheltenham includes Chosen Hill.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Gloucestershire, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we are called out for in Gloucestershire

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Common questions in Gloucestershire

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
