Non-slip bath coating in Pontyfelin without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Pontyfelin

Common problems we fix in Pontyfelin
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
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 that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pontyfelin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Pontyfelin
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
