What affects the price in Saltley
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Non-slip bath coating in Saltley without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Saltley
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Saltley
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Read our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses 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.
FAQs for Saltley
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Saltley?
We do. Technicians travel to Saltley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
