- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hockwold cum Wilton
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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Somewhere as small as Hockwold cum Wilton, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Advice
Common questions in Hockwold cum Wilton
Do you come out to small places like Hockwold cum Wilton?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
My house in Hockwold cum Wilton is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Generally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Hockwold cum Wilton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hockwold cum Wilton and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hockwold cum Wilton.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There is no charge for travel to Hockwold cum Wilton. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. For a rural home like those around Hockwold cum Wilton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
