About our shower tray repair in Byfield

Byfield: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. 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 the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Byfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Byfield

Repairing versus replacing in Byfield

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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