Non-slip bath coating in Harbourland without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Harbourland
There’s no charge for travel to Harbourland. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Harbourland
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
