DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our non-slip bath coating in Millom
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Millom and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Millom
Are there extra charges for Millom?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Millom?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Millom and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Millom?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What affects the price in Millom
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Millom. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures 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 the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Millom
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Covering Millom
Millom is about 7 miles north of Barrow-in-Furness, in Cumbria. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Millom is one of 438 places in Cumbria we cover. We work right across the region, from Millom to Liverpool (57 miles away).
All of LA18 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes on Station Road, Market Street and St George's Road. Millom is on the A5093, so it’s easy for us to reach. If you’re just outside Millom, we cover Holborn Hill (1 mile north-west), The Green (3 miles north), Hallthwaites (3 miles north), Lady Hall (4 miles north) and Foxfield (4 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Barrow-in-Furness (7 miles south), Ulverston (7 miles east), Hindpool (7 miles south), Salthouse (7 miles south), Dalton-in-Furness (5 miles south-east) and Risedale (7 miles south).
Around Millom
Typical jobs here are in homes near Millom Infant School, Millom School and St George's Church. Millom has its own railway station: Millom station. Other landmarks nearby include Millom Castle (0.8 miles north) and Millom Hospital (within half a mile south-east). Not far away are Hodbarrow Nature Reserve.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it 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 few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
