Landlord and trade work in The Leys
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
About our non-slip bath coating in The Leys
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Leys and across Herefordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths

Advice
Questions from The Leys
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in The Leys
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in The Leys?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
