DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Blackburn
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
FAQs for Blackburn
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Blackburn?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Blackburn
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish

- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
