Rufford: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Rufford included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How to compare quotes

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Rufford

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
