  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

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

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Upper Street

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Upper Street questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Upper Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
