Related advice
Non-slip bath coating in Longformacus, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Longformacus
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Longformacus?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longformacus from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Longformacus
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Longformacus contact us are:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
