Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hydestile, Surrey

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hydestile
The coating is clear and textured, 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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

More services for Hydestile
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Hydestile. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.
FAQs for Hydestile
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Hydestile?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Hydestile?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
