A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ightham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ightham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ightham?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ightham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Ightham

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
