Non-slip bath coating in Blackwall, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths

Blackwall questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Blackwall.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What affects the price in Blackwall
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Blackwall
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackwall
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
