Cheriton: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Cheriton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cheriton?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Cheriton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Read our prices page.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cheriton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
