  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Ynys-fach, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Ynys-fach

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ynys-fach use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Ynys-fach. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
