Book shower tray repair in Brandy Hole

Brandy Hole: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Brandy Hole?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brandy Hole for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brandy Hole

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

When to call us in Brandy Hole

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Brandy Hole, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
