The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Blackboys: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Blackboys?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Blackboys and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Blackboys?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no area surcharge for Blackboys. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
