Non-Slip Bath Coating in Start Hill
Local non-slip bath coating for Start Hill: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Start Hill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits 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 worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Start Hill?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Start Hill
Do you cover Start Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Start Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are there extra charges for Start Hill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Start Hill
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Start Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
