Non-slip bath coating at your home in Birchfield
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Birchfield
Repair or replace in Birchfield?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Birchfield questions
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There’s no area surcharge for Birchfield. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Birchfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
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
