Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hive

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. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hive

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hive use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Hive

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Hive

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Hive customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Hive

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hive.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Hive?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hive and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
