Non-slip bath coating for Uplowman homes

Non-slip bath coating in Uplowman without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Something in shot to show the size

Common problems we fix in Uplowman

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uplowman as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Uplowman

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Uplowman is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
