Non-slip bath coating near Perry Barr

About our non-slip bath coating in Perry Barr

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Perry Barr?

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 will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Perry Barr

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Perry Barr. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Materials we work on in Perry Barr

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

Perry Barr: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Perry Barr?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Perry Barr?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Perry Barr and the rest of Birmingham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Perry Barr

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
