Landlords, agents and businesses in Potterhanworth Booths

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Potterhanworth Booths

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

What we are called out for in Potterhanworth Booths

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 whole 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 whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about shower tray repair in Potterhanworth Booths

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you hold any accreditations?

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
