Non-slip bath coating at your home in Elmdon Heath
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Elmdon Heath questions
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Elmdon Heath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Elmdon Heath and the rest of Solihull. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Landlord and trade work in Elmdon Heath
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Elmdon Heath?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Elmdon Heath
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are

What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
