Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Common questions in Blaenau Ffestiniog

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Blaenau Ffestiniog get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
