How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hafod
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hafod. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Hafod
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Hafod
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
