Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shirland
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

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

Shirland: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Shirland?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirland
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
For a price in Shirland, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
