Non-slip bath coating in Blacklands, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blacklands and across East Sussex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Choosing a repair company

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Blacklands. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blacklands as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
