Non-slip bath coating in Blackbank without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Blackbank

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Landlord and trade work in Blackbank

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Blackbank: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Blackbank?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackbank. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Blackbank and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackbank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
