Need non-slip bath coating in Netherwood Heath?

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating in Netherwood Heath, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Netherwood Heath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Common questions in Netherwood Heath

Will I see the coating?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Solihull. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Netherwood Heath?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B93 postcode.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Netherwood Heath

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.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
