Non-slip bath coating in Aberarth

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Aberarth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Aberarth

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Aberarth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Aberarth

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
