Non-slip bath coating in Milkwell, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Milkwell

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Milkwell.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Milkwell

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Milkwell

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Milkwell

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Milkwell. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milkwell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
