Non-slip bath coating for Cardiff Bay homes

Non-slip bath coating in Cardiff Bay, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Cardiff Bay

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover Cardiff Bay?

We do. Technicians travel to Cardiff Bay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Cardiff Bay

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Cardiff Bay

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers usually contact us about:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Cardiff Bay

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cardiff Bay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Cardiff Bay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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