Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill End
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Mill End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Non-slip bath coating in Mill End without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Mill End?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when 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.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Mill End
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Mill End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Mill End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
