How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Boughton Monchelsea

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Boughton Monchelsea

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boughton Monchelsea

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
