About our non-slip bath coating in Boldron
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Boldron
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Boldron
Do you cover Boldron?

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What else we do in Boldron
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Boldron, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
