Non-slip bath coating at your home in Vange
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Vange
- Fixed prices from your photos

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Vange. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Vange get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
