How we handle non-slip bath coating in Windmill Hill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Windmill Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Windmill Hill?
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Common reasons people in Windmill Hill contact us are:
- 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

Windmill Hill questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
