Non-slip bath coating in Marcroes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Marcroes

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Marcroes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Marcroes

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Marcroes

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What affects the price in Marcroes

We don’t charge extra for travel to Marcroes. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Marcroes, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Marcroes

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
