Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llwyncelyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Llwyncelyn

Llwyncelyn: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Llwyncelyn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Llwyncelyn. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Common problems we fix in Llwyncelyn

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
