About our non-slip bath coating in Oakerthorpe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Oakerthorpe

- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What affects the price in Oakerthorpe
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Oakerthorpe
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
