How to compare quotes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Splott

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Splott

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Splott

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Splott as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Splott

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

All of Cardiff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are there extra charges for Splott?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Should you replace it?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Splott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Splott

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
