Need non-slip bath coating in Bargoed?

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bargoed, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Bargoed

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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Bargoed

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bargoed

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Repair or replace in Bargoed?

The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
