How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

About our non-slip bath coating in Cotes
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cotes and across Leicestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Cotes
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 without visiting.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Cotes
Do you come to Cotes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cotes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we are called out for in Cotes
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
