Non-slip bath coating near Uppingham

Non-slip bath coating in Uppingham, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Uppingham

We charge the same across the UK, including Uppingham. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Uppingham: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Uppingham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Common problems we fix in Uppingham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uppingham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Uppingham clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 you book.
