What affects the price in Catherine-de-Barnes

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Catherine-de-Barnes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Catherine-de-Barnes

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Catherine-de-Barnes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Catherine-de-Barnes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace in Catherine-de-Barnes?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
