About our non-slip bath coating in Birch
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Birch: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Birch. Prices do not change with location.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Birch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Birch
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Birch and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Birch
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
