Non-slip bath coating in Grains Bar

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Grains Bar, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

About our non-slip bath coating in Grains Bar

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Grains Bar

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Grains Bar contact us include:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Grains Bar

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Grains Bar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Grains Bar, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Grains Bar

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
