Non-slip bath coating in Great Kneighton 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 safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Great Kneighton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
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.
Repair or replace in Great Kneighton?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Kneighton
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Great Kneighton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we can’t put right
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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
