It’s popular with 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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Other services in Drefach
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Drefach
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Drefach
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?

What affects the price in Drefach
We do not charge extra for travel to Drefach. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
