How we handle non-slip bath coating in Harborne
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Harborne
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Birmingham.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
Everywhere in the UK, Harborne included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Harborne?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Harborne
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
