Your questions about shower tray repair in Clowne

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Clowne

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clowne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Clowne

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Clowne. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Clowne

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Clowne

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
