DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Skewen
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skewen and across Neath Port Talbot. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Skewen
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
FAQs for Skewen
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Skewen. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Skewen?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Skewen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Repairing versus replacing in Skewen
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
