Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Adamsdown. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Adamsdown
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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Adamsdown?
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Adamsdown questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Adamsdown?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Adamsdown
Landlords, agents and businesses in Adamsdown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Adamsdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
