Non-slip bath coating in The Lings without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in The Lings
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Lings use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in The Lings, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in The Lings
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in The Lings

Common questions in The Lings
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)

How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for The Lings. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in The Lings get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
