Questions from Portishead

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Portishead?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Portishead

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we’re called out for in Portishead

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
