How we handle non-slip bath coating in Silver Hill

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you cover Silver Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Silver Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Silver Hill

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

What affects the price in Silver Hill

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Silver Hill?

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

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

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Repair or replace in Silver Hill?

Instead, you could go for 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
