Non-slip bath coating near Blackford

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Blackford

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Blackford questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there any odour?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

What affects the price in Blackford

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Common problems we fix in Blackford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Blackford?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
