Need non-slip bath coating in Newtown?

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our non-slip bath coating in Newtown

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Rhondda Cynon Taff. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Newtown

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
