About our non-slip bath coating in Westergate

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Westergate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Westergate

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Westergate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Westergate

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Westergate

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Westergate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westergate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Westergate

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Westergate?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westergate

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westergate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
