Common questions in Tonyrefail
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Tonyrefail?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tonyrefail. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tonyrefail
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Tonyrefail
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonyrefail as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
