Non-slip bath coating in Meanwood, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

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.

Meanwood questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace in Meanwood?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Meanwood customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Meanwood. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
