Non-slip bath coating at your home in South Yardley
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in South Yardley and across Birmingham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in South Yardley
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

South Yardley questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
