Non-slip bath coating for Cwmdu homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

About our non-slip bath coating in Cwmdu

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cwmdu, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Cwmdu

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Cwmdu. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Cwmdu: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
