What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What we’re called out for in Bourton

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bourton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Bourton: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
