We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Non-slip bath coating in Chathill, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Chathill. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chathill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Chathill

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking

Chathill questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE67 postcode.

Do you cover Chathill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chathill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
