Non-slip bath coating at your home in Font-y-gary

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Font-y-gary, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Font-y-gary

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

FAQs for Font-y-gary

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Font-y-gary?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Font-y-gary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Font-y-gary?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. 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.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Font-y-gary. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Font-y-gary, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
