Non-slip bath coating in Llandaff without replacing anything

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

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llandaff

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llandaff as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Llandaff questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When to call us in Llandaff

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we work on in Llandaff

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
