Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollybush Corner as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What we are called out for in Hollybush Corner
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
