Non-Slip Bath Coating for Bournmoor homes
Our technicians come to Bournmoor for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Landlord and trade work in Bournmoor
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bournmoor
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Most clients in Bournmoor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Repair or replace in Bournmoor?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 in Bournmoor

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bournmoor
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
What affects the price in Bournmoor
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
