Non-slip bath coating in Hillhead without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Hillhead
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Covering Hillhead
Hillhead is about 2 miles south-west of Brixham, in Torbay. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Hillhead is one of 23 towns and villages in Torbay we cover.
Our repair technicians cover all of TQ5 and the streets around it. You’ll find streets such as Raddicombe Drive, Hillhead Park and Kingswear Road. We also travel to Brixham (2 miles north-east), Galmpton (2 miles north-west), Kingswear (2 miles south-west), Dartmouth (3 miles south-west) and Warfleet (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Paignton (5 miles north), Torquay (7 miles north), Ellacombe (7 miles north), Babbacombe (7 miles north), Torre (7 miles north) and St Marychurch (7 miles north).
Around Hillhead
Our customers here include homes close to Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy and St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Paignton station, roughly 4.3 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find Kingswear Castle (2.4 miles south) and Brixham Battery Museum (2 miles north-east).
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Hillhead: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
