Non-slip bath coating near Blaenavon

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Blaenavon

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right

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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blaenavon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Blaenavon: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you cover Blaenavon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blaenavon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When to call us in Blaenavon

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
