Cavenham questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Cavenham?

We do. Technicians travel to Cavenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Cavenham

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cavenham. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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