Non-slip bath coating in Bimbister without replacing anything
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 help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Bimbister?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bimbister. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK

Landlord and trade work in Bimbister
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bimbister use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bimbister: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Bimbister
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bimbister?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote

- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
