Trusted non-slip bath coating in Rhayader

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Non-slip bath coating in Rhayader, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Rhayader

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Rhayader

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
