Non-slip bath coating near Y Ferwig

Y Ferwig: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Ceredigion?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Y Ferwig?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Y Ferwig

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. 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 Y Ferwig as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Y Ferwig

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no area surcharge for Y Ferwig. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we are called out for in Y Ferwig

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
