Non-slip bath coating for Milnrow homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Milnrow

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Milnrow and across Rochdale. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Milnrow, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Milnrow: your questions answered

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Milnrow and the rest of Rochdale. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Milnrow?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
