About our non-slip bath coating in Blackhill
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Blackhill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works
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 how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Blackhill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Blackhill?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Blackhill
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
