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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Orton Longueville
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Orton Longueville
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Orton Longueville
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Landlord and trade work in Orton Longueville

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
