Non-slip bath coating for Blackdog homes

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blackdog. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blackdog, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Blackdog, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

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

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When to call us in Blackdog

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

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Blackdog

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
