Non-slip bath coating near Mildenhall

Non-slip bath coating in Mildenhall without replacing anything

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 acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Mildenhall: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Mildenhall?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Mildenhall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
