Non-slip bath coating at your home in Porthmadog

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Porthmadog: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll 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.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Porthmadog

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthmadog as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Porthmadog

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL49 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
