Non-slip bath coating near Penparc

Non-slip bath coating in Penparc, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Penparc questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Ceredigion.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What affects the price in Penparc

We charge the same across the UK, including Penparc. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Penparc

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 often lifts.
