Non-slip bath coating for Pengam homes

Non-slip bath coating in Pengam without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Pengam questions

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Pengam?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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

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

Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?

The entire UK, including all of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you come to Pengam?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Pengam from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we’re called out for in Pengam

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pengam

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
