Non-slip bath coating near Aberdare West

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

About our non-slip bath coating in Aberdare West

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can landlords book you?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
