What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is 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, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Garvald
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Questions from Garvald
Do you come to Garvald?
We do. We send a technician to Garvald for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
