About our non-slip bath coating in Dolau

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dolau. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Dolau

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Dolau, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

If you’re in Dolau and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Dolau

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

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

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dolau, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
