Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gubblecote
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gubblecote
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gubblecote. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Repairing versus replacing in Gubblecote
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Gubblecote
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
