Non-slip bath coating in Garve without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through 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 price the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Garve
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Garve questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Garve
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garve. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Garve
- Nothing taken out or refitted
