Crook questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Crook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
