It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ynyswen. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
When to call us in Ynyswen
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths

Common questions in Ynyswen
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
