What affects the price in Upper Poppleton
We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Poppleton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Upper Poppleton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Upper Poppleton
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Poppleton as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Upper Poppleton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Upper Poppleton?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

- How long it needs to cure

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Upper Poppleton?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
