Trusted non-slip bath coating in Mumbles

Non-slip bath coating in Mumbles without replacing anything

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 are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Mumbles

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Mumbles

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Mumbles

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Mumbles

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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