Non-slip bath coating in Newbridge

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newbridge

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbridge

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

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