Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Millbank

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Millbank?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Non-slip bath coating in Millbank without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Millbank

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
