Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Blackheath without replacing anything
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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Blackheath
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Blackheath?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackheath and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
