About our non-slip bath coating in Blakenall Heath

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. 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 worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Blakenall Heath

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

  • Shower trays

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Blakenall Heath. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Blakenall Heath

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Blakenall Heath questions

Will I see the coating?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Blakenall Heath and the rest of Walsall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
