When to call us in Beckenham

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Beckenham

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Beckenham questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.
