Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Non-slip bath coating in Coton, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Coton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Coton
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Coton questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Coton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Coton
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
