Non-slip bath coating at your home in Pontyates
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Pontyates
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
