About our non-slip bath coating in Hoel-laethog
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hoel-laethog and across Bridgend. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hoel-laethog?
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
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Hoel-laethog
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Hoel-laethog questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hoel-laethog. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bridgend.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
