FAQs for Low Team
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Team as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
