About our non-slip bath coating in Milkwall

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Milkwall: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are there extra charges for Milkwall?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Milkwall and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you cover Milkwall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milkwall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Milkwall

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Milkwall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Milkwall

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
