How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newmilns
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Newmilns questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What else we do in Newmilns
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
