Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we’re called out for in Artington

The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Artington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Artington: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Artington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Artington. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Artington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
