Common questions in East Saltoun
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
