Common questions in Appleton Roebuck

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Appleton Roebuck

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
