Non-slip bath coating in Great Heck 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 older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Great Heck
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Great Heck?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we are called out for in Great Heck
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Heck
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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Heck. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Heck
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
