FAQs for Cauldon

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairing versus replacing in Cauldon

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Cauldon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cauldon

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cauldon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
