Need non-slip bath coating in Aberdare?

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Aberdare

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aberdare as everywhere else we work. 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 that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Aberdare?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
