When to call us in Upper Horsebridge

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Upper Horsebridge

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Upper Horsebridge

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Horsebridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
