Non-slip bath coating in Hillesden, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When to call us in Hillesden

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Hillesden

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hillesden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Hillesden

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Landlord and trade work in Hillesden

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Hillesden?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
