About our non-slip bath coating in Langwathby
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Langwathby
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Langwathby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Langwathby
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Langwathby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
