Non-slip bath coating in Cotton, 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Cotton
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Questions from Cotton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Landlord and trade work in Cotton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cotton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
