Landlord and trade work in Lower Sketty
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Sketty, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lower Sketty
It suits 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’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Sketty and across Swansea. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Lower Sketty
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.
Common reasons people in Lower Sketty contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Lower Sketty questions
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
