What affects the price in The Barony

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating in The Barony, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in The Barony?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Barony

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in The Barony

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in The Barony?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
