Cliffe: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cliffe?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Cliffe

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
