Non-slip bath coating at your home in Harpur Hill
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Harpur Hill
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can I add another job to the visit?

What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Harpur Hill and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Harpur Hill.

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Harpur Hill

Landlord and trade work in Harpur Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harpur Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Harpur Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Harpur Hill

Common reasons people in Harpur Hill contact us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
