Landlords, agents and businesses in Thealby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thealby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Thealby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you work in Thealby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thealby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What we are called out for in Thealby
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
