About our non-slip bath coating in Upper Boat
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Upper Boat
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Upper Boat
There’s no area surcharge for Upper Boat. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF37 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Boat
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Boat
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Boat as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Upper Boat
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
