About our non-slip bath coating in Wig-fach

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bridgend. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wig-fach?

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Wig-fach: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Wig-fach and the rest of Bridgend. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Wig-fach?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Wig-fach. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
