Non-slip bath coating in Great Barr, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Great Barr
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice

Do you cover Great Barr?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Great Barr and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Landlord and trade work in Great Barr

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repair or replace in Great Barr?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
