The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Trevarrack

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Trevarrack, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition 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 cannot see.
