Non-slip bath coating in Matlock

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Matlock

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. 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

Landlord and trade work in Matlock

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Matlock

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Matlock. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Matlock

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Matlock included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
