Non-slip bath coating in Birchover without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Birchover
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Birchover and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchover
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:

- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

Repairing versus replacing in Birchover
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
