Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gwernyfed. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Non-slip bath coating in Gwernyfed, done in place

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Gwernyfed

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Powys. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Gwernyfed?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When we would advise against a repair

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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Gwernyfed. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Gwernyfed, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t 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.

Common problems we fix in Gwernyfed

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
