When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Landlord and trade work in Wrekenton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Wrekenton: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When to call us in Wrekenton

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

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

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
