Repairing versus replacing in Townfield
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Non-slip bath coating in Townfield, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Townfield
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
