DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Do you work in Lochgelly?

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

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you price it without visiting?

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
