Harston: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Harston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Harston
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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Harston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
