DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

When to call us in Pityme

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

FAQs for Pityme

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Pityme. Prices do not change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Pityme

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pityme as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pityme. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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