Landlord and trade work in Knockholt Pound
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knockholt Pound as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Knockholt Pound, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When to call us in Knockholt Pound
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Common reasons people in Knockholt Pound contact us are:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What else we do in Knockholt Pound
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
