Choosing a repair company

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

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Short Heath

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Short Heath

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are there extra charges for Short Heath?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Short Heath?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B23 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
