Non-slip bath coating near Ashvale

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Non-slip bath coating in Ashvale without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashvale and across Blaenau Gwent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Ashvale

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Ashvale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Ashvale?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
