Trusted non-slip bath coating in Milverton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Milverton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Milverton questions

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Milverton.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Milverton. 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

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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 without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milverton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Milverton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Milverton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
