Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

About our non-slip bath coating in Friog
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Friog as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Friog
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Friog. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
