How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Elmstead Market?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elmstead Market. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
