About our non-slip bath coating in Gwaelod-y-garth

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwaelod-y-garth

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Gwaelod-y-garth: your questions answered

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Gwaelod-y-garth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gwaelod-y-garth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Gwaelod-y-garth

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Gwaelod-y-garth

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Gwaelod-y-garth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
