Non-slip bath coating in Bulmer without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 normally the cheaper route.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

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

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bulmer. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
