Trusted non-slip bath coating in Quick

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Quick

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Quick

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Quick included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Quick

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Quick

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Quick

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
