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.

Questions from Thornton Watlass
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Thornton Watlass
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlord and trade work in Thornton Watlass
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
