Non-slip bath coating in Milton Bridge, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Milton Bridge: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
