Repair or replace in Billington?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

FAQs for Billington

Are there extra charges for Billington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we’re called out for in Billington

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
