Non-slip bath coating near Durlock

Non-slip bath coating in Durlock without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. 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?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Durlock

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Durlock

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you come to Durlock?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Durlock

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Durlock customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
