DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Milton Ernest

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Milton Ernest and across Bedford Borough. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.

Questions from Milton Ernest

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Milton Ernest?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Milton Ernest. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
