Non-slip bath coating near Cefn Hengoed

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cefn Hengoed

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Cefn Hengoed

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cefn Hengoed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
