Non-slip bath coating in Caerau

When a repair is not the answer

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 booking.

What we work on

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Caerau

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Caerau

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

On the day, 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 few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Caerau

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Caerau?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Caerau

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Caerau contact us are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
