About our non-slip bath coating in Langley
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Langley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Langley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Langley. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Langley: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
