Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Idstone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Idstone

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?

What else we do in Idstone
When to call us in Idstone
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
