About our non-slip bath coating in Creigiau

The coating is clear and textured, 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 wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Creigiau

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When to call us in Creigiau

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Creigiau

The alternatives are 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Creigiau

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Creigiau. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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