Non-slip bath coating in Tre-gynwer

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tre-gynwer

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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, so there’s no premium for Tre-gynwer. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tre-gynwer use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tre-gynwer

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
