Non-slip bath coating in Blackhall Mill, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Blackhall Mill: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you come to Blackhall Mill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackhall Mill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Blackhall Mill

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Blackhall Mill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Blackhall Mill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
