When to call us in Grain
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.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
About our non-slip bath coating in Grain
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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Grain
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Grain questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Grain?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Grain. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
