Questions from Ulpha

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Ulpha?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ulpha

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Ulpha?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ulpha. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Ulpha. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ulpha, and we will reply with a fixed price.
