Non-slip bath coating for Blackford homes

Non-slip bath coating in Blackford, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Blackford

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are there extra charges for Blackford?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PH4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Blackford

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.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. 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.
