Trusted non-slip bath coating in Pwll-mawr

Non-slip bath coating in Pwll-mawr without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Pwll-mawr

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs

  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Pwll-mawr

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Pwll-mawr contact us are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Pwll-mawr

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pwll-mawr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
