Non-slip bath coating in Pen-y-lan

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

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Pen-y-lan

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you come to Pen-y-lan?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pen-y-lan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Pen-y-lan

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-lan

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
