Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we are called out for in Poystreet Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlord and trade work in Poystreet Green

For anyone letting property in or around Poystreet Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
