FAQs for Heanor
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Heanor?
We do. We send a technician to Heanor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Heanor

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
