Non-slip bath & shower coating in Elmdon, Solihull
Our repair technicians come to Elmdon for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Elmdon
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Elmdon
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Elmdon
There’s no area surcharge for Elmdon. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elmdon, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
