Non-slip bath coating in Duston, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Duston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Duston
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit

Duston: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NN5 postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
