Common questions in Barkston Ash

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Barkston Ash?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Barkston Ash and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LS24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Barkston Ash

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barkston Ash. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our full price list.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Barkston Ash

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
