Non-slip bath coating at your home in Southside
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Southside and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Southside
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Southside?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Southside?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Southside and the rest of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southside as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Southside
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Southside. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
