Common reasons people in Milehouse contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote

Non-slip bath coating in Milehouse, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Milehouse and across Plymouth. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Milehouse
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Milehouse?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Milehouse
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
