Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Sparkbrook

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

About our non-slip bath coating in Sparkbrook

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Sparkbrook. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Sparkbrook

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Sparkbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Sparkbrook

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Sparkbrook?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sparkbrook. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

Should you replace it?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sparkbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
