Non-slip bath coating at your home in Castle Hill

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Castle Hill

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Castle Hill?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What affects the price in Castle Hill

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Castle Hill

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
