About our non-slip bath coating in Downs
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Downs
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cardiff.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What affects the price in Downs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Downs
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Downs
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
