Non-slip bath coating at your home in Merle Common
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Merle Common

- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
If you are in Merle Common and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
