Non-slip bath coating near Rhiwlas

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rhiwlas

It suits 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. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Rhiwlas

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, 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 you cover the entire of Gwynedd?

We work UK-wide, so Rhiwlas is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Rhiwlas. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Most customers in Rhiwlas get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
