Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ffos-y-ffîn

Non-slip bath coating in Ffos-y-ffîn, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ffos-y-ffîn and across Ceredigion. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Ffos-y-ffîn

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Ffos-y-ffîn?

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

What affects the price in Ffos-y-ffîn

We don’t charge extra for travel to Ffos-y-ffîn. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When to call us in Ffos-y-ffîn

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
