Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stoke-upon-Trent
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Stoke-upon-Trent
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Can I fix it myself?
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 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 usually the cheaper route.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stoke-upon-Trent
