Non-slip bath & shower coating in Balfour, Orkney Islands

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Balfour
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Balfour. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Balfour is about 4 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Anywhere in KW17, we carry out the work at your property. Balfour is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.

What else we do in Balfour
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balfour use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Balfour: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover Balfour?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Balfour and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW17 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
