What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hillswick
It suits 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 work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures 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.
FAQs for Hillswick
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ZE2 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Hillswick
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Hillswick
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
