Non-Slip Bath Coating for Longden homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Longden, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Longden without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Longden
Do you cover Longden?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Longden. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Longden
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, 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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
