How we handle non-slip bath coating in Symbister
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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Symbister and across the Shetland Islands. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Symbister questions
Do you work in Symbister?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Symbister for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Symbister?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Symbister use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
