Non-slip bath coating for Hilton homes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hilton

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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hilton as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Hilton

Are there extra charges for Hilton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Hilton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hilton?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Hilton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Hilton clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Hilton

There’s no charge for travel to Hilton. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
