Non-slip bath coating in Higher Porthpean, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Higher Porthpean
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Higher Porthpean?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL26 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we are called out for in Higher Porthpean

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
