Non-slip bath & shower coating in Downham, Greater London
Our technicians come to Downham for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Downham
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Downham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Downham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Downham and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Downham
We do not charge extra for travel to Downham. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Downham

- No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
