Non-slip bath coating for Blackmill homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Non-slip bath coating in Blackmill without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Blackmill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Blackmill

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Blackmill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blackmill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
