About our non-slip bath coating in Blackfordby
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blackfordby and across Derbyshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Blackfordby
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Blackfordby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Blackfordby questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Blackfordby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
