Non-slip bath coating in Tycroes, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tycroes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tycroes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Tycroes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tycroes

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tycroes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Tycroes questions

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tycroes included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
