Non-slip bath coating at your home in Verwood

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Verwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

When to call us in Verwood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Verwood

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Verwood?

We do. Technicians travel to Verwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
