FAQs for Porthyrhyd
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Porthyrhyd?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Porthyrhyd
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Porthyrhyd and across Carmarthenshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What non-slip bath coating costs

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
