About our non-slip bath coating in Hopkinstown

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hopkinstown and across Rhondda Cynon Taff. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Hopkinstown

Do you work in Hopkinstown?

We do. Technicians travel to Hopkinstown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hopkinstown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.
