Landlord and trade work in Lythe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lythe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
About our non-slip bath coating in Lythe
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. 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.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Lythe
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
