How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Penylan and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Penylan, 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 it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penylan as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Penylan

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Questions from Penylan

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are there extra charges for Penylan?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Penylan

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
