Broomhill: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Broomhill.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Broomhill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Broomhill

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Broomhill

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 usually the cheaper route.
