About our non-slip bath coating in Tan-y-foel

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Tan-y-foel

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Tan-y-foel?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LL57 postcode.

When to call us in Tan-y-foel

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Tan-y-foel, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
