Trusted non-slip bath coating in Srath Carran

About our non-slip bath coating in Srath Carran

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Srath Carran

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

  • Enamelled baths

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Srath Carran

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Srath Carran?

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us
