How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upper Loads
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Upper Loads: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Upper Loads?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
