Non-Slip Bath Coating for Gremista homes
Local non-slip bath coating for Gremista: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Should you replace it?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gremista
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gremista and across the Shetland Islands. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Gremista
Smooth surfaces are 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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Questions from Gremista
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How it works

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
