How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Pontlottyn. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating in Pontlottyn, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pontlottyn and across Caerphilly. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Pontlottyn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Pontlottyn

Do you work in Pontlottyn?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pontlottyn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Pontlottyn

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pontlottyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
