Non-slip bath coating for Mill End homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mill End

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mill End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Mill End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
