Non-slip bath coating in Milfield

Non-slip bath coating in Milfield without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Milfield: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Milfield

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.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
