About our non-slip bath coating in Hackman's Gate
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Hackman's Gate?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Repair or replace in Hackman's Gate?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Hackman's Gate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackman's Gate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Hackman's Gate. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
