Non-Slip Bath Coating in Kells
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays for homes and businesses in Kells and across Cumbria. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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 Kells
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kells
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
