Non-Slip Bath Coating for Orphir homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Orphir, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Orphir
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Orphir
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Orphir and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Orphir
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Orphir
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What else we do in Orphir
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orphir as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Orphir. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
