How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newcastle-under-Lyme

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newcastle-under-Lyme use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Newcastle-under-Lyme

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we are called out for in Newcastle-under-Lyme

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
