How we handle non-slip bath coating in Collin
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Collin
We charge the same across the UK, including Collin. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
Repairing versus replacing in Collin
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Collin
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Collin
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
