Non-slip bath coating for Rhyd-y-fro homes

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rhyd-y-fro. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Non-slip bath coating in Rhyd-y-fro without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Rhyd-y-fro?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Rhyd-y-fro

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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, then guarantee it for a year.

Rhyd-y-fro questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Rhyd-y-fro?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Rhyd-y-fro

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
