Non-slip bath coating in Thatto Heath without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thatto Heath as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
What affects the price in Thatto Heath
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Thatto Heath?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A 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 Thatto Heath

Questions from Thatto Heath
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Thatto Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Thatto Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
