Non-slip bath coating for Urafirth homes

Non-slip bath coating in Urafirth without replacing anything

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 wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Urafirth

We charge the same across the UK, including Urafirth. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Urafirth customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people

FAQs for Urafirth

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?

The entire UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Urafirth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Urafirth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
