About our non-slip bath coating in Hillend
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Hillend
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Hillend: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Hillend. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Hillend get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
