Non-Slip Bath Coating for Cullivoe homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Cullivoe and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our non-slip bath coating in Cullivoe
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cullivoe and across the Shetland Islands. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Cullivoe. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Cullivoe questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
When to call us in Cullivoe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before booking anyone

- If travel is included in the price

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Olaf's Church, among other places. For a walk, there is Valla Field and Loch of Papil.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
