Non-slip bath coating in Black Dog, done in place
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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Black Dog get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Black Dog: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX17 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
