Common questions in Tollesby
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tollesby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlord and trade work in Tollesby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Tollesby
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
