Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cottingley
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Cottingley?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
