About our non-slip bath coating in Woodthorpe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Woodthorpe?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Woodthorpe

  • Shower trays

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Woodthorpe. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
