Non-slip bath coating in Mill Common

Non-slip bath coating in Mill Common, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Mill Common

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill Common

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Common questions in Mill Common

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Mill Common?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
