How we handle non-slip bath coating in Blackhills
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Blackhills
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhills use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
