What we are called out for in Upper Hopton

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Upper Hopton, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Upper Hopton questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Upper Hopton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upper Hopton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Upper Hopton

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Hopton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
