What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Landlord and trade work in Alpheton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Alpheton

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you work in Alpheton?

We do. We send a technician to Alpheton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alpheton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
