Lyness questions
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
The entire UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Are there extra charges for Lyness?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lyness
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Lyness
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 Lyness. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
For a price in Lyness, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyness
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Lyness
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:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.

Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
