Cark: your questions answered

Do you come to Cark?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cark. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cark?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Shower tray repair in Cark, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Cark

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Common reasons people in Cark contact us are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Cark

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cark. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
