Common problems we fix in St Bride's Minor

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Bride's Minor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in St Bride's Minor, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace in St Bride's Minor?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in St Bride's Minor

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
