Non-slip bath coating for Ystrad homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ystrad

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Ystrad

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ystrad

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ystrad as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ystrad

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work in Ystrad?

We do. We send a technician to Ystrad for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ystrad

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Ystrad get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
