How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Questions from Peldon

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Peldon and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Are there extra charges for Peldon?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Peldon

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Peldon

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Peldon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
