Non-slip bath coating near Birmingham

Birmingham: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Birmingham

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Birmingham

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Birmingham clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Birmingham

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Birmingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Birmingham

For anyone letting property in or around Birmingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
