10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Trehafren

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Trehafren questions

Do you cover Trehafren?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trehafren for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Trehafren. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Trehafren get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trehafren as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

If you’re in Trehafren and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
