How non-slip bath coating works in the Orkney Islands
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Pricing in the Orkney Islands
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Landlord and trade work in the Orkney Islands
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we are called out for in the Orkney Islands
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for the Orkney Islands
Do you come to the Orkney Islands?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to the Orkney Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
