Non-slip bath coating in Longhope without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Longhope
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Longhope?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW16 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Longhope and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Longhope
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longhope use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
