What affects the price in Upton Pyne
We do not charge extra for travel to Upton Pyne. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally 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. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upton Pyne
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Upton Pyne
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Upton Pyne?
We do. Technicians travel to Upton Pyne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Upton Pyne?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Upton Pyne contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
