When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Rhyd-y-car
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhyd-y-car. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rhyd-y-car, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
