Non-Slip Bath Coating in Penhelyg
We travel to Penhelyg for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our non-slip bath coating in Penhelyg
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Penhelyg. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Penhelyg
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Penhelyg
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
