For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Waunarlwydd, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Waunarlwydd
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths

What we are called out for in Waunarlwydd
