Trusted non-slip bath coating in Caereithin

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Caereithin

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

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

When to call us in Caereithin

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Caereithin

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I clean it?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Caereithin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us
