We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Draycott in the Clay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Common questions in Draycott in the Clay
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
