FAQs for Beer

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Beer

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Beer

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Beer. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Beer and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Beer

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
