10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Common questions in Auchenback

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Most customers in Auchenback get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
