Our non-slip bath coating service in the Shetland Islands
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
What it costs in the Shetland Islands
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
How to get 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.
What’s near Lerwick
Around Lerwick, we work in homes near St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Hotel and Anderson High School and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Gilbert Bain Hospital (under half a mile south) and Shetland Museum (under half a mile north-east). Not far away are Setter Hill and Clickimin Loch.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Landlords, agents and businesses in the Shetland Islands
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in the Shetland Islands
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in the Shetland Islands get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 generally the cheaper route.
the Shetland Islands: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
