Trusted non-slip bath coating in Chellington

Non-slip bath coating in Chellington without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Chellington

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Chellington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Chellington

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Chellington

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not 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 non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
