Trusted non-slip bath coating in Upleadon

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our non-slip bath coating in Upleadon

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Upleadon

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upleadon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upleadon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Upleadon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Upleadon

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

FAQs for Upleadon

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
