Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pen-y-ffordd

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Non-slip bath coating in Pen-y-ffordd without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we’re called out for in Pen-y-ffordd

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
