Non-slip bath coating in Sandness, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Sandness. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Sandness and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
