DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Axbridge: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you need shower tray repair in Axbridge?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Axbridge

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Axbridge. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
