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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Rickford
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rickford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Places near Rickford
Also in Rickford
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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.
Rickford: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rickford.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
