Non-slip bath coating in Tywyn

About our non-slip bath coating in Tywyn

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tywyn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Tywyn

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace in Tywyn?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for Tywyn

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tywyn?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
