Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Nounsley

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you come to Nounsley?

We do. We send a technician to Nounsley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nounsley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Nounsley

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Nounsley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Nounsley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
