About our non-slip bath coating in Carmarthen
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 are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Carmarthen
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.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Carmarthen. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

FAQs for Carmarthen
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Carmarthen?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Carmarthen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Carmarthen?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
