Non-slip bath coating in Longnor, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Longnor. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
