The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Holdenhurst
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

More services for Holdenhurst
Landlord and trade work in Holdenhurst
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holdenhurst use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Holdenhurst
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
