Trusted non-slip bath coating in Upton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Upton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we can’t put right

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Upton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Questions from Upton

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Across the UK, and that includes Upton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Upton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
