Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Chesterton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Chesterton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Chesterton
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What we’re called out for in Chesterton
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chesterton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
