Non-slip bath coating in Walmley, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Walmley: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
The entire UK, including all of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repair or replace in Walmley?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Walmley. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Walmley
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Walmley contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 before you book.
