Trusted non-slip bath coating in Upperton

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperton

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

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.

Non-slip bath coating in Upperton, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Upperton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Upperton

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Upperton

Smooth surfaces are 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.

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Upperton

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
