Non-slip bath coating in Ysgubor Newydd, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Ysgubor Newydd
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
