About our non-slip bath coating in Fernham
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Repair or replace in Fernham?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fernham
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Fernham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
