Non-slip bath coating in Hellington, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Hellington
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you work in Hellington?
We do. Technicians travel to Hellington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hellington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix
We will not 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Hellington
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
