Aberfan questions
Do you cover Aberfan?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Aberfan. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF48 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Aberfan?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aberfan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberfan
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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.
