Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What affects the price in Handsworth Wood
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Handsworth Wood?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Handsworth Wood
If you manage property in Handsworth Wood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we’re called out for in Handsworth Wood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
