Non-slip bath coating for Longford homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Non-slip bath coating in Longford without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Longford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Longford questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Longford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Longford and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
