Trusted non-slip bath coating in Galon Uchaf

About our non-slip bath coating in Galon Uchaf

It suits 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’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Galon Uchaf?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Galon Uchaf and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Galon Uchaf

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
