Landlord and trade work in South Hinksey
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, 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 items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Non-slip bath coating in South Hinksey, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

South Hinksey questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you come to South Hinksey?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Hinksey and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What affects the price in South Hinksey
We charge the same across the UK, including South Hinksey. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in South Hinksey
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For a price in South Hinksey, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
