Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Tame
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Old Tame
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
