Non-Slip Bath Coating for Small Heath homes
Non-slip bath coating across Small Heath and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Small Heath
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Small Heath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Small Heath
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Small Heath?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Small Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Small Heath
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
