Non-slip bath coating at your home in Port Tennant

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Port Tennant: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Port Tennant

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Port Tennant

We charge the same across the UK, including Port Tennant. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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 leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
