Non-slip bath coating near Penpergwm

Non-slip bath coating in Penpergwm, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penpergwm as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Penpergwm

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Penpergwm

Do you come to Penpergwm?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Penpergwm from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penpergwm, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
