Trusted non-slip bath coating in Hilton

What we are called out for in Hilton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hilton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Hilton: your questions answered

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Hilton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
