The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Akeley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Akeley
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Akeley
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
