Chelwood Gate questions
Do you cover villages like Chelwood Gate?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelwood Gate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Chelwood Gate?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Replacement in Chelwood Gate means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
