Non-slip bath & shower coating in Cotham, Bristol
Non-slip bath coating in and around Cotham: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 typically cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating in Cotham, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Cotham
Are there extra charges for Cotham?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Cotham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cotham and the rest of Bristol. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
