How we handle non-slip bath coating in Selly Oak
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 enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Selly Oak and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Selly Oak

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
