Non-slip bath coating in Grimness without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 booking.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Grimness
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again

Grimness: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Grimness?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your KW17 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Grimness?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
