Non-slip bath coating in Birthorpe without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Birthorpe and across Lincolnshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Birthorpe: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birthorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Birthorpe?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Birthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Birthorpe clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
