About our non-slip bath coating in Tŷ-rhiw

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Tŷ-rhiw

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Tŷ-rhiw?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tŷ-rhiw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tŷ-rhiw?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tŷ-rhiw

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
