Non-slip bath coating in Tirabad, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, 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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tirabad. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Tirabad
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Tirabad
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tirabad
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
