Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace in Gyllyngvase?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What we are called out for in Gyllyngvase

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Gyllyngvase contact us are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

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

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gyllyngvase

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
