Non-slip bath & shower coating in Rhymney, Blaenau Gwent
Our repair technicians come to Rhymney for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Rhymney get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our non-slip bath coating in Rhymney
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

- Outdoor surfaces

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Rhymney, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Rhymney
The alternatives are 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rhymney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Rhymney questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Blaenau Gwent.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
