Common questions in Greet

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Greet?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Non-slip bath coating in Greet, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Greet, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greet

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Greet

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
