Non-slip bath coating at your home in Blackwater
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Blackwater
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackwater
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Blackwater get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackwater. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
