  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Non-slip bath coating in Hawkesley, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Hawkesley?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hawkesley

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Hawkesley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkesley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hawkesley?

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.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
