Non-slip bath & shower coating in Langdon Hills, Essex
Non-slip bath coating across Langdon Hills and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Langdon Hills
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Langdon Hills
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
