surface marking

Frequently asked questions
Whether you're considering trip hazard removal for your property, it's natural to have a few questions. Here are some of the most common queries we get.
01 How much does trip hazard removal cost?
The cost of trip hazard removal depends on the number of hazards, the height difference, and site access. Factors such as location, surface condition and required compliance levels can influence pricing. After inspecting your site, we provide a clear, itemised quote.
02 How long does the process take?
Most trip hazard removal jobs are completed in one day, depending on the number of areas and site conditions. Large commercial sites may require staged works to maintain access.
03 Will the repaired area be noticeable?
Grinding blends the raised edge into the existing concrete, leaving a smooth transition. While colour variation may remain, the surface will be safe, even and functional.
04 Do I need to close my site during works?
Not usually. We can work in sections to maintain access and can schedule out-of-hours service for busy retail or public environments.

Demonstrated by our long list of Google Reviews, once you’ve had us polish your floor, you’ll never look at another concrete polishing provider.
Steve and his team at GrindnShine are approachable, friendly and all round good eggs.
Whilst flat out busy (always a good sign) they still managed to fit me in, with realistic timescales (which they stuck to) and kept me up to date with progress.
The finish and colour are amazing and exactly as advised. One completely happy customer here who will be returning and recommending to anyone who needs work doing. Thanks again guys, legends!

The team at Grind n Shine are absolute legends, friendly, proactive, and fun.
Over the past year, I’d taken my car to several other paint shops that never seemed to have the time for me or just messed me about.
One day I spotted Grind n Shine from the road, dropped in on a whim, and Steve had my bumper looking better than ever in no time at all. He even took the initiative to walk me through fitting the bumper in detail, even though I was doing that part myself, a genuine care for his customers. Even the way they’ve set up and decorated the workshop reflects the pride they take in what they do. Couldn’t ask for better service and couldn’t recommend them enough.

Steve and the team at Grind & Shine
Steve and the team at Grind & Shine were brilliant after my car was damaged in a pub car park. Not the biggest job,but they gave me a quote to give to the person responsible, then were quick and efficient in getting the job done. Definitely would recommend.
