How we handle non-slip bath coating in Milton
The coating is clear and textured, 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 wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Milton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Milton
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Milton questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Southend-on-Sea.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in Milton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
