When to call us in Hardstoft

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardstoft

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Hardstoft

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
