DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we’re called out for in Albourne Street

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Albourne Street contact us are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Albourne Street

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Albourne Street, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
