Non-slip bath coating in Longhoughton without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Longhoughton
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
When to call us in Longhoughton
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include

Questions from Longhoughton
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
