FAQs for Little Heath

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you cover Little Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Heath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we’re called out for in Little Heath

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
