About our non-slip bath coating in Hillbutts
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hillbutts as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hillbutts
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Hillbutts?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Hillbutts
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include

- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
