Non-slip bath coating in Deritend without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deritend

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deritend use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Deritend

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Deritend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Deritend and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Deritend

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

We work UK-wide, so Deritend is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

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

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

Common problems we fix in Deritend

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
