- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Longshaw
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Longshaw
The alternatives are 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Longshaw
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
