About our non-slip bath coating in Birdbush

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birdbush

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

For a price in Birdbush, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Birdbush: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Birdbush?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SP7 postcode.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

When to call us in Birdbush

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
