Non-slip bath coating near Grofield

Landlord and trade work in Grofield

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Grofield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Non-slip bath coating in Grofield without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Grofield. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Grofield

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Grofield contact us are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Questions from Grofield

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Grofield?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
