Non-slip bath coating in Hirwaun

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Hirwaun get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Non-slip bath coating in Hirwaun, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hirwaun

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Hirwaun questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
