Questions from Milby

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Milby?

We do. We send a technician to Milby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

About our non-slip bath coating in Milby

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Milby?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Milby?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
