Trusted non-slip bath coating in Argoed

Non-slip bath coating in Argoed, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Argoed?

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Argoed questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Argoed and the rest of Caerphilly. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you work in Argoed?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Argoed. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
