Create jQuery sliders with plus/minus buttons to add /subtract value from the slider

i'm trying to replicate what you can see in the image here in jquery to make a touch enabled version of an existing application: jquery slider plus - minus

I'm using jquery-ui sliders and i'd like to keep using them because i have a lot of business logic tied to them, actually they have this look:

enter image description here

I need help for the css and html part, i don't know how to make the effect where the "slider" gets filled when the user click on the "plus" button and on how i should organize my HTML to achieve that look.

My markup is as follows:

  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <div id="timeName">
          Tempo a disposizione
        </div>

        <div id="travelTime">
          <div class="selectedHandler"></div>
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>
        <div class='paramName'>
          Architecture and Heritage
        </div>

        <div id="Architecture_and_Heritage" class="param" data-id="3">
          <div class="selectedHandler"></div>
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>
        <div class='paramName'>
          Culture
        </div>

        <div id="Culture" class="param" data-id="5">
          <div class="selectedHandler"></div>
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>
        <div class='paramName'>
          Fairs Performances and Special Events
        </div>

        <div id="Fairs_Performances_and_Special_Events" class="param" data-id="6">
          <div class="selectedHandler"></div>
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>
        <div class='paramName'>
          Food and Drink
        </div>

        <div id="Food_and_Drink" class="param" data-id="1">
          <div class="selectedHandler"></div>
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
