Transforming Lives with DIY SOS: Our Contribution to the Leicester Project

Transforming Lives with DIY SOS: Our Contribution to the Leicester Project

We’re proud to have played a small but important part in something truly special.

Recently, we had the incredible opportunity to support the BBC’s DIY SOS: The Big Build team during their Leicester project — a heartfelt renovation that transformed a home and, more importantly, Isla and her family’s life. As part of the build, we supplied high-quality bathroom wall panels that helped bring the space together with both style and function.

Why We Got Involved

DIY SOS has long stood as a symbol of community spirit and practical compassion, bringing together tradespeople, suppliers, and volunteers to create homes that meet the unique needs of families facing tough challenges.

When we were approached to contribute, we didn’t hesitate. Supporting a family in need through the power of practical design aligns perfectly with our values — and we knew our bathroom panels would be the right fit for the job.

A Hygienic, Hassle-Free Solution

In projects like this, where accessibility, hygiene, and ease of use are top priorities, every product needs to perform under pressure. That’s where our panels truly shine.

The bathroom panels we supplied are:

100% Waterproof: Perfect for busy family bathrooms and wet room environments.

Hygienic & Easy to Clean: With no grout lines and a smooth, non-porous surface, these panels help reduce the risk of mould and bacteria build-up.

Quick to Install: Time was of the essence on the project, and our panels helped the team meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.

Durable & Stylish: A practical solution doesn’t mean sacrificing good design. Our panels offered a modern, clean finish that will last for years to come.

A Big Thank You

'We really need to think about Isla's immune system so its about a really safe, clean surface with minimal grout'
