About our non-slip bath coating in Lickey End

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lickey End and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Lickey End

Will there be a smell?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will it make a mess?

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lickey End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
