About our non-slip bath coating in Upton
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Upton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Upton
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
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?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlord and trade work in Upton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
