Non-slip bath coating near Blackhill

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Blackhill

It’s popular with 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 technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Blackhill

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you come to Blackhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blackhill and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Blackhill

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
