About our non-slip bath coating in Stichill
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Stichill
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Stichill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stichill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Stichill
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Stichill
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stichill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
