About our non-slip bath coating in Blaenllechau

It suits 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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Blaenllechau, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

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

Getting a price

Common questions in Blaenllechau

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I have to be there?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Blaenllechau?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blaenllechau from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we are called out for in Blaenllechau

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
