Non-slip bath coating at your home in Longlane
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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longlane as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, 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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Longlane
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Longlane is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you cover Longlane?
We do. We send a technician to Longlane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
