Non-slip bath coating near Llysworney

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Llysworney

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Llysworney, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Llysworney

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Llysworney?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
