What affects the price in Hurworth-on-Tees

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hurworth-on-Tees. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hurworth-on-Tees. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Hurworth-on-Tees: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of Darlington?

All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Hurworth-on-Tees?

We do. We send a technician to Hurworth-on-Tees for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
