Related advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Long Thurlow
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Long Thurlow questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Long Thurlow?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Long Thurlow. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What affects the price in Long Thurlow
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Long Thurlow, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
